Only three days after an upset loss at Illinois, the Hoosiers (21-3, 9-2) dominated the second half while making some history and staying in the thick of the Big Ten race.

The victory was Indiana’s first against a top-10 conference opponent on the road since 1993 at Iowa. It was also the Hoosiers’ first win against any team in the top 10 on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000.

Aaron Craft had 16 points for Ohio State (17-6, 7-4) which dropped two games back with seven games left, crimping its chances of extending its string of three years with at least a share of the conference title.

The nation’s longest run of avoiding a losing streak (121 games) also ended.

Syracuse 77, St. John’s 58 — James Southerland scored 13 points in his first appearance in seven games, C.J. Fair had 17 points and nine rebounds, and the No. 9 Orange (20-3, 8-2 Big East) beat the Red Storm for their 37th straight win in the Carrier Dome.

California 77, Arizona 69 — Allen Crabbe had 19 of his 31 points in the second half, Justin Cobbs hit a big shot in the final seconds, and the visiting Golden Bears (14-9, 6-5 Pac-12) upset the No. 7 Wildcats (20-3, 8-3).

Penn State 71, Michigan State 56 — Alex Bentley scored 24 points as the eighth-ranked Lady Lions (20-3, 10-1) beat the No. 23 Spartans (18-6, 6-4) to win their 18th straight at home and build a two-game lead in the Big Ten.

Vermont 4, Maine 1 — The Catamounts (8-17-3, 6-8-3) scored four times in the third period and killed 11 power plays to top the visiting Black Bears (5-20-3, 2-13-2) in a record-setting win that gave Vermont its most Hockey East victories in team history.

Emily Walsh had a goal and an assist to become the Catamounts’ career leader in points at the Division 1 level with 50, and Brittany Zuback had a goal and two assists for the highest single-season point total in team Division 1 history with 23.

On Saturday night in men’s basketball, Cameron Biedscheid scored on a layup with 1:19 left in the fifth overtime, and Eric Atkins and former St. John’s Prep star Pat Connaugton added free throws in the final 19 seconds as No. 25 Notre Dame overcame an 8-point deficit late in regulation to beat No. 11 Louisville, 104-101, in South Bend, Ind.

Russ Smith had a chance to tie it, but his 3-pointer missed before Notre Dame students flooded the court.

It marked the sixth time in the last eight meetings that a game between the Fighting Irish (19-5, 7-4 Big East) and the Cardinals (19-5, 7-4) went into overtime. The lead changed hands 26 times and the score was tied 16 times.
